<span style="color:#0070C0">(General Instructions – The main focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. Use [https://www.genenames.org/ <u>HUGO-approved gene names and symbols</u>] (italicized when appropriate), [https://varnomen.hgvs.org/ HGVS-based nomenclature for variants], as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples). Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content.

The majority of cases are positive for cytoplasmic CD3ε, CD2, granzyme B, and TIA-1. Most ENKTLs are of NK-lineage and express CD56. Cases of T-lineage express T-cell receptor (TCR) and show clonal TCR gene rearrangements. All cases are EBV positive by in situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNA (EBER). Other markers that may be expressed include HLA-DR, CD25, pSTAT3, CXCL13, IRF4/MUM1, CD16, Fas, FasL, MATK, and CD30<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Li|first=Shaoying|last2=Feng|first2=Xiaoli|last3=Li|first3=Ting|last4=Zhang|first4=Shuang|last5=Zuo|first5=Zhuang|last6=Lin|first6=Pei|last7=Konoplev|first7=Sergej|last8=Bueso-Ramos|first8=Carlos E.|last9=Vega|first9=Francisco|date=2013-01|title=Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type: a report of 73 cases at MD Anderson Cancer Center|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23232851|journal=The American Journal of Surgical Pathology|volume=37|issue=1|pages=14–23|doi=10.1097/PAS.0b013e31826731b5|issn=1532-0979|pmid=23232851}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Jhuang|first=Jie-Yang|last2=Chang|first2=Sheng-Tsung|last3=Weng|first3=Shih-Feng|last4=Pan|first4=Shien-Tung|last5=Chu|first5=Pei-Yi|last6=Hsieh|first6=Pin-Pen|last7=Wei|first7=Chih-Hsin|last8=Chou|first8=Shih-Cheng|last9=Koo|first9=Chiew-Loon|date=2015-02|title=Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type in Taiwan: a relatively higher frequency of T-cell lineage and poor survival for extranasal tumors|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25554090|journal=Human Pathology|volume=46|issue=2|pages=313–321|doi=10.1016/j.humpath.2014.11.008|issn=1532-8392|pmid=25554090}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Pongpruttipan|first=Tawatchai|last2=Sukpanichnant|first2=Sanya|last3=Assanasen|first3=Thamathorn|last4=Wannakrairot|first4=Pongsak|last5=Boonsakan|first5=Paisarn|last6=Kanoksil|first6=Wasana|last7=Kayasut|first7=Kanita|last8=Mitarnun|first8=Winyou|last9=Khuhapinant|first9=Archrob|date=2012-04|title=Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, includes cases of natural killer cell and αβ, γδ, and αβ/γδ T-cell origin: a comprehensive clinicopathologic and phenotypic study|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22314189|journal=The American Journal of Surgical Pathology|volume=36|issue=4|pages=481–499|doi=10.1097/PAS.0b013e31824433d8|issn=1532-0979|pmid=22314189}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Jaffe|first=E.

Haematolymphoid Tumours (WHO Classification, 5th ed.)

Primary Authors*

Teodora Popa, MD, Queen's University

Amanda Xu, MD, Queen's University

WHO Classification of Disease

Structure Disease
Book Haematolymphoid Tumours (5th ed.)
Category T-cell and NK-cell lymphoid proliferations and lymphomas
Family Mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms
Type EBV-positive NK-cell and T-cell lymphomas
Subtype(s) Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma

Definition / Description of Disease

  • Lymphoma of NK or T-cell lineage strongly associated with Epstein-Barr virus[1]. The lineage (NK or T-cell) has no clinical significance[2].
  • Divided into nasal and non-nasal types, the latter most often occurring in the skin and intestinal tract[3][1].
  • It is a destructive angiocentric disease characterized by vascular destruction and necrosis[4].
  • Differential diagnosis: sinonasal carcinomas and other lymphomas of the nasal cavity, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma[5].

Synonyms / Terminology

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type

EBV-positive extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma

Not recommended: angiocentric lymphoma; lethal midline granuloma (historical)

Epidemiology / Prevalence

  • Most prevalent in East Asia and Latin America.
  • Represents less than 1% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the United States
    • Highest incidence among Asian Pacific Islanders and Hispanic populations[6].

Clinical Features

Signs and Symptoms Nasal mass, nasal obstruction, nasal bleeding

Hoarseness, dysphagia, halitosis, airway obstruction, dysphonia

Abdominal pain, GI bleeding, bowel perforation[7]

B symptoms (fever, weight loss, night sweats) associated with higher clinical stage[8]

Laboratory Findings No specific findings

Cytopenias

Sites of Involvement

  • Most are nasal type involving the upper aerodigestive tract
  • Extranasal type may involve skin, testis, and gastrointestinal tract[7].
  • Bone marrow involvement is uncommon[9].

Morphologic Features

Extranodal NK T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (HPS). Angiocentric and angiodestructive growth pattern.
Extranodal NK T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (HPS). Angiocentric and angiodestructive growth pattern.
  • Diffuse infiltrate composed of admixture of small, medium, or large and anaplastic cells.
  • Cells have irregularly folded nuclei and moderate pale cytoplasm.
  • Loss of mucosal glands.
  • Angiocentric and angiodestructive growth pattern with coagulative necrosis.
  • Usually see apoptotic cells and mitotic figures

Pitfalls:

  • Mucosal ulceration and superimposed inflammation can mimic an inflammatory process, particularly in less aggressive cases[10].
  • Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia of the overlying mucosal epithelium can mimic squamous cell carcinoma[11][12].

Immunophenotype

Extranodal NK T-cell lymphoma stained with CD2 (top left), CD56 (red chromogen; top right), EBER in-situ hybridization (bottom left) and TIA1 (bottom right).


Finding Marker
Positive (universal) EBER / EBV
Positive (majority) cytoplasmic CD3ε, CD2, CD56, granzyme B, and TIA-1
Positive (subset) TCR αβ/γδ, HLA-DR, CD25, pSTAT3, CXCL13, IRF4/MUM1, CD16, Fas, FasL, MATK, CD30[13][14][15][16][17][18][19].
Negative (universal) CD4, CD8
Negative (subset) Surface CD3 (subset of T-cell lineage)[7]

Epigenomic Alterations

A 2015 study by Lu, et al uncovered recurrent mutations in the RNA helicase gene DDX3X and other epigenetic modifiers including KMT2D (MLL2), ARID1A, EP300, and ASXL3[35].

Similarly, a 2015 study by Lee, et al reported that histone modification-related genes, including BCOR and KMT2D (MLL2), accounted for 38.2% of 34 ENKTL samples by next-generation sequencing[37].

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

Huang, et al described deregulation of several signaling pathways in NK T-cell lymphoma, main ones listed below[40]. A review by De Mel, et al, also outlines key molecular pathways involved in the pathogenesis of ENKTL[54].

NF-κB related genes[40][54] NF-κB pathway Increased cell proliferation
PDGFRA[40][54] PDGF pathway Increased cell proliferation and survival
NOTCH1[54] NOTCH1 pathway Increased cell proliferation
AURKA[54] Aurora kinase pathway[39] Increased cell proliferation and cell cycle dysregulation

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

  • Select cases may require TCR gene rearrangement studies; otherwise, not routinely performed.
